The Best FPL Picks for Gameweek 27

You have less time than usual to think about which changes to make to your Fantasy Premier League (FPL) team, as the next gameweek begins on Tuesday. But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.

Here are the top players for FPL Gameweek 27, based on Fantasy Football Hub’s AI-predicted points. If you’re struggling to decide on your FPL transfers, get your AI-recommended moves right here!

Liverpool are the leading defensive team in the Premier League this season, with 11 clean sheets so far. Three of those clean sheets have come in 2023, during which they’ve conceded just nine goals in nine games. The visit of Newcastle United may seem difficult at first, but Liverpool are far superior in terms of their current form.

Right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold has eight goal involvements for the campaign, including a goal against Aston Villa last midweek. In the reverse fixture, he produced a brace of assists as a substitute in a 3-3 draw. Alexander-Arnold leads the way among defenders for his creativity, sitting top for both key passes (49) and big chances created (14).

It’s not often that we see Mohamed Salah ousted from the top of the overall AI rankings, but on this occasion it’s Chelsea’s Cole Palmer who is preferred by a margin of 0.9 predicted points ahead of a home game against bottom-of-the-league Southampton. He’s the best captain pick for this week.

The concern here is Chelsea’s form, with them winning just one of their last four games and scoring just four goals in this time. However, Palmer provided a goal in the reverse fixture, which Chelsea won 5-1. He has had 13 shots on goal in the last four gameweeks, ranking him sixth among midfielders. Meanwhile, Southampton are without a clean sheet since mid-December, conceding 11 goals across their last four league games, making this a key game to target.

With tough fixtures for the template forwards Alexander Isak and Chris Wood this midweek, there’s a new name ascending to the top of the forward rankings: Wolves striker Matheus Cunha. Wolves have won two of their last three league games, with Cunha scoring in three consecutive games.

The Wolves forward is now up to 13 goals and four assists for this campaign, coming from 23 starts. Over the last four gameweeks, Cunha sits top for shots on goal with 17, with eight of those hitting the target. It’s also thought that he’s first choice on penalties. With a recent upturn in form, Wolves have a good chance of a result against Fulham at Molineux. Significantly, they were the 4-1 victors in the reverse fixture, with Cunha providing his biggest fantasy return of the season with three goal involvements and 16 points.

Hidden Gem: Heung-min Son vs Manchester City (H) – 6.1 points

Tottenham have rejuvenated their season with three consecutive wins in the league, climbing the Premier League table. Their captain Heung-min Son has been central to this improvement in their form, contributing four assists in the last three gameweeks.

Son has multiple routes to points from the wing, with six goals and ten assists this season, plus he is on penalties. Would-be owners should not be put off by the fixture, with Spurs already beating Manchester City 4-0 at the Etihad earlier this season, with an assist for Son on that day. Manchester City have suffered some big losses in recent games, including a 5-1 defeat to Arsenal in Gameweek 24 and a 2-0 loss to Liverpool last weekend. Anything can happen under the lights in a midweek gameweek.
